Would you talk to your manager about feeling like you're getting overworked? I've never had a one-on-one conversation with mine, so this being the first one is definitely not the most comforting thought. I either want to get paid more for the same workload or have less work. What's the best way to talk about this?

Not on your life. Mine is the meanest person in the world. I bet if I said I was feeling overworked, she would be thrilled and assign me even more to do.

It could depend on circumstances. If your workload has increased lately, it's good to talk to your manager and address that. If you can't really establish that you've been doing more lately, you don't have as good an argument for a bump in compensation. In any conversation, make it about yourself and what a good job you're doing and what a valuable employee you've become. Focus on that theme of how you've grown in the position.

Honestly, I’d bring it up, just keep it constructive. Maybe frame it around wanting to do your best work but feeling stretched thin. You can discuss either adjusting workload or compensation. First one-on-ones are always a bit nerve-wracking, but being honest usually goes better than you think.

Almost never, I learned not to speak up when I asked for a pay raise from a position change that they both denied and proceeded to criticize me on why I was not doing enough to work on my finances. I explained that I was doing everything I just thought that because I took on a different role with new responsibilities that it would come with a dollar raise to that position. Nope!

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Hi everyone!

I have a question for all those with a non-tech background who broke into the fintech sector as a graduate. How did you manage to get into fintech and what roles are you involved in?

I am about to graduate with a business degree but can't seem to find any referrals or even information about working in the top fintech firms in my country. I would be really glad to learn about your experiences and any advice would be really appreciated!
